To improve egg size, shell quality, and laying frequency, provide a balanced layer diet rich in calcium, phosphorus, and essential amino acids, supplemented with vitamin D3 for calcium absorption and microminerals like zinc, manganese, and copper for shell formation

<strong data-start=”277″ data-end=”323″> Ratio of slow- vs. fast-digesting proteins:
<ul data-start=”328″ data-end=”733″>
<strong data-start=”330″ data-end=”357″>Fast-digesting proteins (e.g., soy protein isolates, whey protein, certain synthetic amino acids) are hydrolyzed and absorbed quickly, providing a rapid surge of amino acids for growth and metabolic needs.
<strong data-start=”544″ data-end=”571″>Slow-digesting proteins (e.g., corn gluten, sunflower meal, meat and bone meal) release amino acids more gradually, supporting sustained protein turnover and minimizing nitrogen loss.

Calcium and phosphorus are essential macrominerals. They require in abundant quantities in feed. They have active role in bone formation and other body metabolism. On the other hand, selenium is micromineral. It has role to prevent oxidative damage. It is usually fortified with vit E in feed.

You can calculate Dry matter by subtracting moisture from 100. To calculate moisture, use hot air oven.

Nice insight. Well versed correlation of enzyme, kinetics protein and energy! We would like if you share the ratio of slow:fast digesting proteins and how to be calculated?
